MM EPISODES (25).png

Abby Allen is Founder of Neon Butterfly - the only creative agency of its kind run by a woman of color. Her mission-driven approach has the world’s biggest brands making their voices more relevant to the changing faces of America - not just because it’s the right thing - but also the SMART thing to do. In 2013 she created “Perfectly Mixed” - driving cross-country to interview and photograph interracial families and mixed race individuals. In our candid conversation, Abby shares the taxing nature of her daily experiences with racism, overcoming fears, and her taking issue with the term “Minority.” And she lives in Cincinnati!
